Economy

Tourism based on the attractions of Lake Mergozzo, nearly all of which falls within the territory of the comune, forms the principal basis of the local economy. Next in importance is the quarrying and working of stone. The pink marble of Candoglia, which was employed in building the Duomo di Milano from the 14th century on, is still extracted; the stone of Montorfano is exported throughout the world.

The agricultural sector is also active.
